did you by chance remove the rotten core material and refill with thickened epoxy....now would be a good time to remove the SS bolts and check them for corrosion as well as your Chain plates....along with rott in your knees...

Hi Woody,
I did filled with a seringe as much epoxy as i could. painfull job, it was coming out from under, difficult to locate and tape it from under. i couldnt take out the rotten balsa core. that would have been a much longer project...
i checked the chainplates and cleaned them, they look good, but i didnt take out the bolts, i tried for one but it was so hard to turn i got afraid to break it.
my chainplates where very badly leaking, now that is over and i m sure it will last long.
i ve no worry for the bolts or the chainplates.
Sorry for my English !
Have a nice day
